{But if GIS^.MA.GUNU be the apricot, then GIS^.MA.GUNU.KUR.RA ought to be a fruit resembling it, which might be the cherry (both are round, with a single large kernel). GIS^.S^ENNUR, mentioned along with GIS^.PAR4, may possibly be the pear, which is similar in appearance to the apple. The quince and the medlar are both native to China, and unlikely to have been known so early in western Asia.}

The name of goddess Lisin "is also written in a fuller form as Lisinna. ... there is also a male deity by the name of Lisin whose spouse is Ninsikilla". |
{Insofar as the "Lisin-son" (dumu-Lisin-mu) is "a river-frog" (p. 141), therefore the frog-god of the Man.d.ukya Upanis.ad might be comparable, and/or the Maya frog-skin-glove-wearing god.} |
